    I feel like when you play against a comp like this, you don’t try to stop them. They are going to take that space. Just play 3 b and 1 on either site to try to force out util. Their weakness is defense, so make them stop your retake every round

    I think triple smoker is a troll setup. It's like someone said "Hey smoke is good right? So hear me out : more smokes!" The problem is this guy never heard the saying too much of a good thing blablabla. If there's any team out there that can fully utilize Clove it'll be PRX. Since they skipped the whole "default, collect info, rotate" and went straight to "tap head we win". Problem is, they're in top form right now so don't fix what's not broken. Another problem is that everyone in PRX legit can be Clove. Jingg is the one who want to play Clove the most, Mindfreak is their smoker, F0rsaken is the flex guy, something can still frag out with her like with Gekko. It's a tradeoff y'know.

  • @igninvi3163
    @igninvi3163 День тому

    I think the best use of the pick me up is to stand in a slight off angle, close enough where the speed buff is enough to get away. The meddle is only good in combination with other utility imo. A snakebite or nade on the planter. So not enough value in pro play sadly…

  • @guyfawkes4578
    @guyfawkes4578 День тому

    9:48 Disagree with healing abilities being not that useful in pro play in general. If you're talking about Clove and Reyna, sure. The prereq of having to kill/assist to use the heal makes them highly situational, indeed. But Skye heal or even Sage heal can make or break rounds, and they have in pro games with a significant percentage.

  • @whereami.
    @whereami. День тому

    Funnily enough, Omen has some one way smokes on Icebox, so that already makes him more useful than Clove on this map The heal is just bad, the Meddle is just a significantly worse Fade seize for util dumps, the ult is only high value in a select few scenarios such as the controller entrying or cheesy post plants. Smoking after death is neat, but an upside of dying sort of contradicts the controller’s role of being in the middle of the pack; you’re more useful alive anyway. Like you said, there’s frankly no world where Clove outperforms Omen. I only see Clove replacing non-movement duelists, not other controllers.

  • @NevirSurrender

    So maybe we should make the Clove res wait longer to have more time to decide to come back or not, and maybe make the dismiss invisible

    Omen is still the superior dome smoker, you can do so much with his util. Clove's selling point is smoking after death but everything else, Omen is better.

    The thing I do not like about clove kit, is it doesnt feel compatible a lot especially in contacts or rushes which is basically any ranked game. Your pick me up and ult asks you to be positioned as first contact. Your smoke asks you to be around brim position where you would second/third contact, so you can pop at once together. Your meddle asks you to be positioned around intiators. I can take the first 2 together but there isnt really any space to use meddle most of the time

  • @rianan6620
    @rianan6620 День тому

    for me, clove should be play with her kit in mind instead of her role. yes, she can smoke, but i think it more fit if she using it for herself instead for the team. and riot did design her to be more aggressive. like decay may not be useful but it can be used to flush out people or doing 1v1 better. if people want to play cloce, i think its better in comp that use omen as main smoker like in ascent or sunset. that map use omen because they only need standard smoke instead of out of the box smoke placement. so in ascent it can be jett, kj, omen, sova, clove. or in sunset can be like raze, breach, cypher, omen, and clove

    @Parenegade День тому

    I cannot overstate how much I disagree with TMV's argument that Clove's ult is too situational. Plenty of ults are situational. You can waste Jett Knives on a round where you have a Rifle and a man advantage. You can waste Phoenix ult in a 1v1 because it's a bad situation to use it. Sage Res can go unused multiple rounds in a row because it requires a specific circumstance. What he's describing to me is a lack of team understanding and agent mastery around Clove's ultimate. You need to put in the reps and understand when and when not to use it just like plenty of other ults in the game. And like plenty of other ults (clearing flank for Phoenix Ult, supporting Lockdown so it doesn't get destroyed, supporting your Sage while they're going for Res, etc) your team has to understand HOW to play around it.

      I also feel that a large part of Clove’s ult is also misunderstood. When I play clove and have her ult I play more odd angles and risky spots and often get picks I wouldn’t be comfortable doing without the self res.

    One point I think is important about the Pick Me Up is it could potentially win you a pistol round because every bit of hp is critical during those rounds and winning pistol round can be huge. That being said, that's not much of a reason to pick clove when you can have sage or skye heal and still have better utility (viper wall, omen blind, etc.) Especially when the hp advantage on pistol round can be useless if your team or the other team slows down/rotates and your overheal runs out of time OR you just get shit on with the overheal. I just thought it was worth at least mentioning this potential advantage with clove.

    • @johnsonfromml8662
      @johnsonfromml8662 День тому

      Unlike Reyna she can buy her 2 smokes while still able to buy C, Reyna need to sacrifice dismiss or a flash to get a more than 100 HP at pistol round which is a win condition being able to take headshots twice, Not to mention clove C is instant unlike reyna

    • @Bigryguy95-epic
      @Bigryguy95-epic День тому

      @@johnsonfromml8662 I agree, the overheal on pistol is huge. But I don't think that alone can make clove viable. Using Reyna for comparison in terms of viability in pro play is like using a stick to compare the usefulness of medieval weapons. It doesn't mean much to say a dagger is stronger than a tree stick.
